The airport security union representing workers at Brussels South Charleroi Airport signed an agreement with the Wallonian regional government which guarantees a minimum level of service in the event of future strikes.

The agreement guarantees that, in the event of a grievance, all other avenues of dialogue will be exploited before a strike is called.

The agreement comes following reports last week that Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair was to suspend flights from the airport from November following a series of ‘wildcat’ strikes.
